tual capabilities do not necessarily and essentiallyagree— in which every one (whose vanity does not amount to a perfect mental aberration,) is not a competent judge of the relative position he may hold. In real science, there exists a perfect subordination ; superior merit is every where recognized and admitted and the autho rity of high genius and attainments is absolute. We are, therefore, somewhat disposed to construe it un favourably to the science of surgery itself, that among the lower branches of the profession, there should exist a strong disposition to depreciate the merits of its more distinguished professors. It is in the very nature of those attainments, which are the result of experience and observation alone, to be disputed : and hence, in a profession where know ledge is no where founded on demonstration, the merest tyro—the hospital student—or apothecaries' apprenti ce , shall tak e up on hi mse lf w i t h i mpun i ty, to question ;he skill of a Coomt—to laugh to scorn the science of an ABERNETHY. We are always disposed to judge of the truth of charges brought against individuals, acting in a public rapacity, precisely in the inverse ratio of the violence and scurrility with which they are urged, and acting on this principle, we had long ago, and without hesi tation, decided on this dispute in favour of the Mem bers of the Council. We are happy to find our con- Ausion fully confirmed by the answer of the Council low before us. The only charges which can i n an y Nay eolklsidered as of a p u bl ic nature, are a refusal )n the part of the College to receive the certificates of li la' Lecturers on Surgery as may not be recognized them, and a similar refusal to receive certificates of eirgical practice (indiscriminately) from all country Hospitals or Dispensaries. Now, until it be clearly established,' that there can exist no Country Hos )ital or Dispensary, where the surgical practice may lot be good and sufficient, and that no man does, * will ever lecture on Surgery, who may not be of i:oinpetent talent and experience so to lecture, it lees certainly app_ear to us, that the C ounc il re in th e r i g ht. We are astonithed at the impudence rub which'that-respectable body of men has been at cked for their adherence to a system so plainly and inperatively required of them on every principle of emmon sense and common prudence. A most im ortant public interest is committed to their charge, nd they owe it to the Public to resist innovations, eying manifestly for their object the interest of par eular individuals, rather than the public well-being. the German Mails received this morning, contain 41 1 e particulars of the fall of Missolonghi, which ick place through treachery, as we stated (mitt vely) last week VIZNNA, MAY 19. The Austrian Observer of this date, contains a short arsiole ATI Constantinople, of 15th May, respecting the taking of Mis -1413hi• The Turks, it says, knew in the beginning of April, it the garrison had provisions for no more than a fortnight or r ee week., and the Greek fleet found it more advisable, and )4 profitable, to pursue valuable European merchantmen in Archipelago, than to venture a combat with the Turkish eta. An attempt made in the middle of April, by SO Hydriot and r ' i 'ot vessels to relieve Miesolonghi totally failed, all acme aB prevented since Anatolie° and Vaasilado were in the hands Trirke, and the Captain Pacha'a fleet being drawn up in line l* ltls to repel the Greeks. The particulars are not known, the Captain Pacha's diapatches atatunthat the Greeks were re !led, and pursued ton considerable distance: two of their ships several north damaged, and five obliged to seek refuge in the of Petals, where they are blockaded by the Turks. The gar 'n, after this defeat, resolved on a sally in the night of the 21. r, )pen themselves a passage through the enemy's camp; but their unison, says this letter, was discovered to the enemy by a young rkisli prisoner, who made his escape from that town. Redschid 'ha 'was accordingly ready to receive them, and in spite of their Wats resistant*, almost all were killed; some that attempted '*tur n to the town found it in possession of flassein Bey, and 't all cut to pieces. Three or four hundred who had taken the r i to the mountains in the night, were overtaken by the Turkish wad also cut to pieces.

CON OTAVTINOPIS, MAT B. Divan is much incensed at a letter (copies of which are tirenlated in MS.) from a Greek agent in London to a frienl ants. It is dated Feb. 17, and antionnces an approaching ige in the policy of Ruisia (which, however, passed over the aof the Greeks in its ultimatum), and added that England kl soon co-operate with Russia in favour of the Greeks. But, Min g to all the circumstances, this letter by Ito means merits ittention which the Turk s g i ve to i t. As for the Greeks hare, mild their last hopes on the .fast, that where the Divan is erred, promise is trot a lwaYslo ll owed by performance, as is 'it by the acceptance, as it is.nallsd, of the 'Russian ultitna of 1821.

In giving this admirable specimen of rational opposition, we beg leave to deprecate any idea of our being oppressed by a sense of our own inferiority to our neighbours in that respect. Whilst we have the honour and the happiness to reckon an illustrious ex- Rector, unwearied, (not unwearying) in his labours, amongst the watchful guardians of our public and private interests, of all and every kind and description, we doubt not of our ability to meet France, or any other country, on this as well as on some what different grounds.

PLYMOUTH, MAY 29.—The American ship En deavour, GILLIES, arrived at Plymouth on the 29th May, from Manila ; she was boarded in lat. 29. 52. N. long. 40. by a piratical schooner, and plundered of 3500 dollars' worth of tortoiseshell, money, clothing, and several other atticles, to the amount of 1000 dollars. The schooner mounted 7 guns, one 18-pounder, on a circle, manned with 60 men ; the Captain is a native of Colombia ; the crew of all nations : they reported themselves 20 days from Carthagena, and that another schooner belonging to the same owners left that port 10 dap before them, to cruise off the Western Islands. Ihe schooner that boarded them was about 200 tons, carried two top sails and two top-gallant-sails, and sails indifferently. We understand that Sir CHARLES LONG and the Earl of BALCARRAS are, as well as Mr. STUART WORTLEY, to be made British Peers. A Morning' Paper states that in making some in surance yesterday on specie from the Havannah to the United States, a slight difficulty was experienced, the change of destination by the Pyramus frigate having led to the apprehension that disturbances were about to break out in Cuba. Letters have, however, been received from the Havannah, later in date than the departure of the Pyramus, which represent the state of affairs there to be tranquil and settled, in appear ance at least ; so that the voyage of Mr. Morier must, it is conceived, relate to some other object. Nothing has 'transpired to explain his motives ; but the delay in the arrival of the Pyramus is complained of as a mostserious inconvenience, by the merchants trading with Mexico, who expect not only remittances of specie by this vessel, but information of the highest interest respecting► various undertakings of great im portance now carrying on in that country. The same paper also says, that a suspicion has got abroad lately, that the purchases of stock made on behalf of the Commissioners of the- Sinking Fund, have in some late instances been merely nominal, and that they have not been followed by any transfer of stock into their names. This however, admitting the fact to be as stated, may arise from the circumstance, that the stock purchased for Savings' Banks also stands in the names of the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund, who may be compelled to sell as much stock to meet the 'claims of depositors in those establishments, as they would buy for the redemption of the debt.. In ibis case no transfer would be necessary. THE FUNDS. CITY, Twelve o' Clock this Day.

The Commissioners were—the LORD CHANCELLOR, the Archbishop of CANTEREItikt, Marquis of CONYNGHAM, Earl of HARHOWEY, and Earl of SHAFTESEtiRY. The Royal Assent was given to several Bills. After which the Lord CHANCELLOR read the following Speech : MT Loans AT4.171 GENTLEMEN, His Majesty commands us to inform you, that the state of the public business, enabling his Majesty to close the Session at a period of the year the most convenient for a General Election, it is his Majesty's intention to dissolve, without delay, the pre sent Parliament, and to direct the issue of Writs for the calling of a new one. His Majesty cannot take leave of you without commanding us to express his Majesty's deep sense of the zeal anti public spirit which you have constantly displayed in the discharge of your several important flinctions. His Majesty particularly acknowledges the promptitude and discretion with which you have applied yourselves to the objects specially recommended to you by his Majesty at the commence ment of this Session ; and his Majesty confidently hopes, that the good effect of your deliberations will be manifested in the improved stability of public and private credit. His Majesty has the satisfaction to inform you that the distin guished skill, bravery, and success, with which the operations of the British Arms in the dominions of the King of Ave have been carried on, have led to the signature, upon highly honourable terms, of a preliminary Treaty with that Sovereign, which his Majesty has every reaoon to expect will be the foundation of a *genre and permanent peace. His Majesty further commands us to repeat to you, that his Majesty's earnest endeavours have continued to be unremittingly exerted to prevent the breaking out of hootilities among Nations ; and to put an end to those which still unhappily exist, as well in America as. in Europe. GENTLEMEN OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS, His Majesty commands us to thank you for the provision which you have made for the service of the year. His Majesty's attention will be constantly directed to the re duction of the public expenditure, in every degree that may be consistent with the due maintenance of the security, honour, and interests, of his kingdom. MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN, We arespecially commanded to assure you, that his Majesty's paternal feelings have been deeply affected by the distresses which have prevailed among the manufacturing classes of his Majesty's subjects; and by the exemplary patience with which those dis tresses have been generally borne. His Majesty trust*, that the causes out of which the partidi stagnation of employment has arisen, are, under the blessing of Providence, in a course of gradual abatement. His Majesty is confident, that your presence and example, in your several countios, will contribute to maintain and encourage the loyal and orderly spirit which pervades the great body of his( people. And hie Majesty relies upon your diepoeition to inculcate that harmony and mutual good-will among the several great interests of the country, upon which the common prosperity of them all essentially depends. LAW INTELLIGENCE. VICE CHANCERY COURT—(TaIe DAY.) BRICK COMPANY. ROBSON v. NIAS AND SIKLEIt. Mr. ROUPELL moved, on the part of the plaintiff, for an ex-parte Injunction against the defendants.— The bill was supported by the plaintiff's affidavit, which stated, that he was the owner of a piece of land in the neighbourhood, on which there. were various cottages, &c. He agreed to let part of the land to a Mr. Astlett, for the purpose of making bricks; Mr. Astlett was let into possession afterwards, without any formal contract having been entered into, for the pur pose of ascertaining the quality and 'quantity of the brick materials ; but in a short time subsequently the plaintiff. found Mr. A. was not a fit and proper person, ill point of circumstances, to be. let into the uncon trouled possession of the premises. It was then pro posed that an individual of the name of Nias should purchase the land out and out. Without any convey ance having been made, Nias had made bricks, removed them, removed brick earth, and felled a great number of timber trees, which the plaintiff objected to. Upon the plaintiff's going to view the premises a few days ago, he fbuud about a hundred men at work, digging earth, making bricks, removing them, &c. ; and; on inquiring into the authority of these men, he was in formed that they were employed by a person of the name of Sikiey, who represented himself to be one of a set of gentlemen, calling themselves the Brick Company .; that they had d erive d t h e i r t i t l e f rom Ni es, and that he had no longer any thing to do with the premises._ His HONOUR directed the injunction to go to restrain the defendants from digging brick earth, mak ing, or removing any more bricks, or doing any thing further on the premises. The ground on which the Court interfered was, the extraordinary number of men employed. OWEN V. FLACK. HIS HONOUR stated, that this case stood for .judg merit, which he would now pr onounce . Th e bill was filed by the plaintiff for the purpose of retleming three mortgages, which were now vested in the de fendant ; and the title to redeem was found on a con veyance made in the year 1781. 13y that conveyance, a gentleman of the name Sewell Munson, possessed his agent, a Solicitor, Mr. Abel Jenkins, in fee °lbis estate, to sell for the purpose of paying off incumbrances of the estate, and the residue to Mr. M., or his execti. tors,' administrators, &c. The estate had not been sold, but all the incumbrances had been redeemed or paid off, except those to the present defendant, who denied the right of Mr. Mansell to convey to Mr. Jenkins in fee, and therefore put the plaintiff to the necessity of proving Mr. M.'s right. The plaintiff relied on the language of some receipts given by the defendant four years prior to the making of the con veyance, which impinge was received in respect of mortgages on Mr. Wt.'s estate. The defendant then stated in her answer, that the accounts were always brought to be filled up, and on receiving the money she sign she could not b e wrong ed them, w i t h out regar d to t h eir l anguage , t hi nking if she only got her money.— Upon th e b est cons i derat i on t he C our t cou l d give to the case, it was of opinio n with the defendant th at t h e language of th e receipts did not ma k e ou t t h e title.— It also thought, t h at 45 years h av i ng e l a p se d s i nce the conveyanee of th e estate , all intention to the e s t a t e must be supposed to h ave b een a bandoned, an d that the plaintiff was not entitled to redeem. The eonse quence was, that the injunction which had been grant ed against the defendant would have to be diasolved and the plaintiff's bill di sm i sse d with costs. , The bark harvest is now concluded. The stripping has not been kind, but the whole has been houtsed or stacked in excellent condition. The best sets fetched much the same prices as last year. UNDBOit i MMr SO.

It is also reported that his Majesty returns to London the week Ater the Races, for the purpose of holding a Levee. Since his Majesty's absence the suite of rooms at the Royal Lodge have undqgone a thorough cleaning, which are now ready for his reception. Yesterday afternoon the Mike of Yerk had an inter view with the Earl of Liverpdol, at the - noble Earl's house in Whitehall. Yesterday afternoon at half past four o'clock, the Duke of York held a levee as Commander-in-Chief at his office in the Horse Guards, whfch occupied the attention of his Royal Highness about an hour. The following were among those present :--!--The Duke of Grafton, the Marquis of Huntly, the Earl of Elgin, Lieutenant-General Lord Charles Somerset, on his return from the Cape of Good Hope, Earl of South amptofi, Lord Marley, Lord holes Fitzroy, Gene. rals Sir George Nugent and Fitzroy, Lieutenant- Generals Sir John Oswald and Cooke% Major-Gene rals Blomart and Fuller, R ear Admiral Page, Sir Gregory Way, and about 30 other officers. Prince Leopold honoured the ball given by the! Prince and Princess Pol;grifte, with his presence on Monday evening, at their residence in Portland-place. Yesterday the Princess Sophia visited the Duke of York, at his house in South Audley Street. The Prince and Princess Polignac entertained a dis tinguished party on Monday evening, it being the an niversary of the Coronation of his Most Christian I Majesty. The suit of rooms which were thrown open l on the occasion, were tastefully arranged for dancing, and a most sumptuous supper was provided for the whole of the company present. The entertainment was honoUred by the presence of the Duke and Duchess of Glocester, and Prince Leopold ; and among other dis tinguished persons were his Majesty's Ministers, the Foreign Ambassadors, the Duke of Wellington, Duke of Northumberland, Duke of Grafton, the Viscount de Larochefoucault, Prince de Beauveau, &c. &c. Yesterday Count Munster, the Hanoverian Mini ster, had an audience of the King. r. Hoblin of the Treasury has in his possession Raphael's " Presentiment of the Cross." The Mather of our Lord has her eyes fixed on the cross, and seems to feel deep anguish at the coming events of her Son's life, which she is supposed to foresee miraculously. It is a lovely picture, and is valued, we understand, at 60001. Lieutenant and Adjutant Edwards, of the 80th re giment, and Miss L--y---11, of Ballaugton, Isle of Man, arrived late last night in a chaise and four at Annan, near Gretna Green, having, after many dif ficulties, succeeded in escaping from the Isle of Man. The fond couple were immediately united, according to the old Scottish usage, and' next morning set oft' for this city, on their way to Liverpool,' there to em bark for Mona.--Car lisle Patriot. Mi.ERSKINE.--411 the trial of a cause in the King's Bench, the , Attorney-General charged Mr. (the late Lord) Erskine, with travelling out of his way in con ducting his client's case. Mr. Erskine, in answer, said a his Learned Friend had talked of the irrele vancy of certain questions which be had put : this re minded him of the celebrated Whitfield, who had been accused of rambling in his discourse, by his audience ; to 'which he replied, if you will ramble to the devil, I must ramble after you." We have heard of the King's Hunt and the Melton Hunt, and many other Hunts, but there is none equal to the Preston Hant.—lf Cobbett and Co. do not pay the piper, there is great likelihood of the Bailiffs 'being shortly entertained with a Beaver hunt, which will be ti novelty in this country.

THE LATE MURDER AT WINTON. We regret (says the Manchester Mercury of the 80th) that neither of the men concerned in the late dreadful murder at Winton, have yet been apprehended ; but a due has been obtained which, we hope, will lead to their apprehension. On Saturday, Mr. Lavender, having learnt that Mrs. Stewart who was a wit ness at the coroner's inquest had received a letter in a mysterious manner, went to his house, to melte enquiry respecting it. Ou - his way he learnt, that on Wednesday morning a woman came to a lad in Smithy Door, who sells gingerbread, a nd s a i s t id him ga i ve rec l e ii i m ved a letter, which she desired him to take to Mrs. Stewart, which he did, When Mr. Lavender questioned Mrs. Stewart she at kilt o d re, 6 vi d i i t t h ' o b ut ill' a b li e gn ing attt e , ly wh P i r :h ised sh i e a h l a tt d burnt. From the de scription of the writing, it appears to have beta the writing of Michael *Kean, and refereed to himself end his brother : it stated that the people might condemn them for what had hap pened near &doe, yet they were not so much to blame as might be supposed, for what was done, they did in their own defence; that they were attacked by the landlord, and one of them was wounded before they committed violence on any one; that Mrs. S 6r t n e l w v a i r i t ly m a ig w ht om di a l n uri w ss ho an A y i a ts p . pr s eh te e u ti t s l i . o t n ha o s i: gtohteitio• ac tea co 4 n i n i t t , fur ior t h l e ie r y , had made their escape.

Farquhar:le" slightly broke in upon the hitherto monotonaus routine of the day. We should premise that this gentleman. has bee n one of the firmest believers in the report that all was not right with respeCt to The General, and that he has openly expressed himself, in , strong terms, of the conduct of those at whom the rumour ap peared to'point. When, therefore, Mr. F. entered the room; i t was expected by all parties that he would at` once broach the sub ject, attd, in , fulfilment of this expectation, that gentleman unite diately took 4 statement from his pocket, which he offered to read to those present ; hut, on it being 'suggested that the matter would come under the notice of the Jockey Club, and that all beta were in the course of payment, it would be best to drop the subject, Mr. Farquharson acquiesced in the propriety of this re commendation, anti directly paid his bets. We are acquainted with the statement intended to have been read, which is briefly thus :—lt begins by stating, that Mr. Thornhill (owner of The General) having demanded from Mr. Farquharson an explanation, of his expressions impugning the character of Mr. T. he (Mr. F.) could only•give public rumour us his authority, that was, the evidence WAS only hear-say, and it was impossible to give proof of the truth of the reports circulated; but that he bad been told that Mr. Thornhill had, some time ago, ceased to be the actual ort'Act of the horse, who was not free to start, and that if the " horse really was ill, it was easy for Mr. T. to satisfy all parties, by showing him to the public. This was the substance of the paper, by which it will be seen that there is little chance of any thing being proved, to justify the Jockey Club in giving any judgment unfavourable to the owner of the horse, particularly as' it appears to us that the onus of proof rests with Mr. Farquharson. ___. The above affair being at rest, the biisittess of the day proceeded, and terminated to the apparent satisfaction of all present, though it must be confessed that a few paid their debts in rather an un gracious manner. - It is mid that, in round numbers, the party against The Gene ral have won about 200,0001. ; one gentleman nets 10,2001., having, by a strange fortune, betted against about twenty Inured for the-Oaks, without, including the witu►er, which he backed. We are happy to add, that there do not appear to be any. de faulters. After the settling was over, a few bets were made, but the only ORO worth -mentioning WAS SO to 1 against Forth's lot, for the Leger. COURT OF ADMIRALTY, MAY 30. Mr. Charles Severne, anti Mr. Malcolm Orme, who had been admitted Proctors in the Court of Arches, the last Court day, were now admitted Proctors of the High Court of Admiralty, after taking the usual oaths. - THE EALING GROVE. Au application was made in this case on behalf of lune§ Car man, a seaman belonging to the Ealing Grave, a shi p ') trading to the West Indies, for wages, which was opposed by the owners, on the alleged grounds, that the seaman had been guilty °farts of insubordination when on board the vessel during its voyage, and atter the vessel had arrived at Dominica, with desertion. It seems that Colman was engaged, with several other sea men, to perform the voyage, and in December last set sail. According to the depositions put forth by the owners, be was guilty of great impropriety of conduct, of frequent in kntication, and exhibited a dissatisfied disposition daring the voyage. The vessel had not even left the Downs before ho manifested a spirit of insubordination, and when on the voyage he often evinced a headstrong temper. On the arrival of the ship a t D om i n i ca , i n F e b ruar y, Its went ashore and stayed many hoar longer than put was permitted, oznil refused to retmn, so that it became necessary to apply to a Megistrate, charging hint with desertion. He was committed to prison, and there remained until the vessel was ready to return to England, when he was taken on board, and again brought to this country. Dr. Lusnitiorow was beard at some length on behalf of the Mariner, and Dr. JINNER for the owners ; after which Lord Svows.Lt. said, he would take home the papers and peruse them before be gave his final judgment. NEW CORN EXCHANGE MEETING. A Meeting of the Subscribers to the projected New Corn gxchange took place yesterday, at the premises of the New Company in Mark Lane, THOMAS ISAAC DIMSDALE in the Chair. Mr. TILS(4I 4 the Solicitor to the Company, said, that it was well known to the Meeting that there were an immense number of subscribers to the under taking. By the Act of Parliament, the capital to be raised was 90,0001. and it was necessary, before such act could be obtained, that the whole sum should be subscribed. To carry this object into effect, several of the parties, who were Shareholders, were waited Upon, and the whole amount was almost immediately signed for. The Royal Assent was The Company was to be divided into 1,600 shares, at 501. a share, and, within thirty days of the passing of the Act, a Gene ral Meeting of the Subscribers was to be held, for electing ten Directors and two Auditors. The Act also empowered them to open a communication with the present Corn Exchange.--(Applause.) The CuAIItMAN said, he felt it requisite to inform them, that there was an understanding now between themselves and the Committee of the Old Corn Ex change, by which the compensation to be given to the latter would be about one-twentieth less than what wits originally demanded by th em . (H ear , hea r !) The freehold of the old Market its Committee had valued at 48,0001. and the good-will, &c. about 1'2,0001. more, making a sum of sixty thousand pounds. He was happy to say, that this Company was started upon principles which would be of the most essential ser vice to the community at large. (Hear, hear, hear!) The intention of the Committee was raise a Market sufficiently large for the use of all, or the greater part, of those men connected connected with the Corn Trade. - It was highly necessary that a market of this h at it labourer: not should description should be open to all.
